Hammer, some thoughts on your choice of reinforcing material...Oh $hit...Oh no...oye veh!!... ::)...the work you did on the top looks great, so don't blame you if you leave it as is, but those angles are gonna be a rust PROBLEM QUICK...and are the fasteners stainless??....and does all the new hardware clear the tank they lay over...need LOTTA room in there...you don't want those angles or bolts ANYWHERE NEAR the top of your GASOLINE TANK...now that those angles are closer to the tank, there is much LESS ROOM for flexing as guys like me and MJ lunge across the deck to grab a pole that's peelin' line...and truth be known...the way those bolt heads are pullin' the fiberglass in, it doesn't look like it's gonna be long B4 they break thru anyway...I know you spent a lotta time, the workmanship looks good, but I'm afraid your repair has some problems in the making...


Your new valves look great...glad your old ones broke when they did...Sea Tow would have to have a JET-BOAT on SLICK WATER to get to you fast enough!!!... ;)...

Where have you already looked for the floor drains??...

5200 is an ADHEASIVE SEALANT...best on the thru-hull fittings...

Franco posted a GREAT IDEA long ago....B4 laying-in the sealant around your floor-deck, run a length of heavy monofilament line around opening and leave a long enough tag on it to grab w/pliers...w/that in place, if the deck ever needs to come up, pull the mono straight up all the way around and it'll make the cut for you...use 4200 around floor-deck... ;)...
